Some of the info on the side bars says that the nest is the size of a queen bed and probably weighs about 800 lbs....can you imagine the size of that? It also said that it could be some time before the baby eats because it had eaten the yolk of the egg. When it's time the parents will gather food and break off little tiny pieces so it can eat. It says they eaglets are about 3 inches long and weigh 2.5 ounces when hatched. I am just totally amazed at this...
